Great, you love leases, bet the dealer loves them more.
Lucky for me, I paid cash for my car, so I am as stuck with it as I see fit. And when I am not so stuck, I will have something to show for it, $$$ mostly.
Leases are fleeces, let me count the ways:
1. You have NOTHING to show when the lease is up.
2. You paid too much per month for a car you DON'T own.
3. You have to insure the car as it is yours, but it isn't, see # 2 above.
4. You have to do maintenance on it like it is yours: tires, oil, brakes, whatever, but still not yours. Again refer to # 2.
5. You have some mileage limitations. You may not have to worry about it, neither do I, my car is mine, all paid for, MINE, MINE, MINE.
6. What is the resale value on your car? Oops, not your car, my bad. Actually your bad on a fleece, errrr, lease.
But, we all make value judgements on what indeed we find to do so value. Hey, I leased an 86 Mercury Cougar when I was half my age, loved the car, couldn't have bought it then, so I leased. But in 1990 I turned it in and walked home.
Best.
